    This was a perfect episode. I appreciate the effort that Keith put into this in finding, truly, a fun book to match each chair. It must be simultaneously humbling to sit in the chair while amusing to see the theories of the day.

      I wonder if the Dutch misheard it, since in Afrikaans at least, it is kameelperd, which literally means "camel horse".

    I so enjoy not just the content itself, but the people Brady interviews and interacts with. At first I thought he was selecting "interesting" people to video, but I was wrong. Anyone who loves their work will be interesting in the hands of a good interviewer.

    The Ice Ages are correlated with the Milankovitch cycles (look it up on Wikipedia), which are *partly* caused by the gravity of Jupiter and Saturn. The cycles have multiple components and several different causes. So Robert Ball is somewhat right at 6:06.

    You may have laughed at Robert Ball's hypothesis that Jupiter and Venus caused the Ice Ages, but he was ahead of his time. The Milankovitch Cycles are changes in the Earth's orbital characteristics caused by perturbations mainly from Jupiter. The solar insolation changes which can bring on the ice ages. In these cases CO2 acted as a feedback which amplified the temperature changes.

    • @culwin
      @culwin 6 років тому +13

      It's upside down because 91 is 16 upside down. So if you look at it from the top it still says 1691 but the R appears upside down. It's symmetric.

    Mr.Ball was not entirely wrong ,Earth's orbit goes through several pertibations over long periods of time. and although it is not the only factor involved in the creation of an ice age, it is one of them . And Jupiter's orbit is a contributing factor. (I learned this on you tube so it has to be true )😊 PBS space time chanel

    I'm a little surprised they didn't acknowledge that the writer of the first book, Robert Boyle, is basically the father of modern chemistry. Yeah, THAT Boyle of Boyle's Law that every chemistry student learns. Enormously important scientist. Need to revisit Boyle in Objectivity with one of the Periodic Videos profs in tow.
